His future in doubt, with allies denouncing his behavior and former staffers voicing disbelief at his arrest, Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, is expected to hold a press conference this afternoon that may answer questions about his political future.
Long dogged by rumors about his sexuality, the married and conservative three-term senator is expected to address the June 11 incident at Minneapolis Airport in which an undercover officer arrested him on charges of lewd conduct in a men's room.
Craig will give a statement this afternoon concerning his arrest at 2 p.m. Mountain Time in downtown Boise, a spokesman said. Craig's staff said he would not take questions.

Agree that it is certainly best for the GOP if he goes quickly so the Gov. can replace him with a strong candidate. Sad that he has done this.

Not condoning his behavior, but Craig is one of the staunchest 2nd Amendment supporters in the Senate.
What an idiot for acting so stupidly.

Said Craig: “Hey. I might have behaved badly, but at least I didn’t electrocute any dogs.”

His best chance to stay in the Senate is announce he is changing parties, denounce the Republicans for their intolerant attitude toward gays and have the enemedia run interference for him.
This will guarantee he stays until January 2009.

More then likely. These guys lockjaw unto power like pit bulls and not even a picture of Hilliary in a g-string can get them to let go of an office.
Craig was a big wheel in the NRA as well, man this really is a shock, why can’t these folks act like normal people?
What would Vito Corleone do about Sen Craig?
Send Tom Regean to have a chat with him maybe.

I agree with both of you. This is what should happen, and this is what may likely happen.

More stall tactics.
I agree. He will hold on as long as he can.
Why would he want to give up all his power untill forced to?
However, I predict this will lead to others coming out who he’s had sex with.
As a result, he won’t be around in 08.
Good riddance to an open borders supporter.

“Shall we take bets that he:”
He’s already played his cards. His excuse was one, it was a misunderstanding, and two, he should have had a lawyer, but didn’t.
